20.French people pride themselves on their delicious foods,such as cheese,baguettes and croissants(two kinds of food).In fact,food is an important part of French culture.Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night.It is the opposite of the fast-food habit common in other parts of the West.
It's the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald's is opening beneath Paris's most famous museum:the Louvre (盧浮宮).The new restaurant will be the 1,142nd McDonald's in France,and will open in the underground approach to the museum.But many French people can't understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture.
    However,McDonald's is paying no notice to the complaint.McDonald's now has 31,000 chains worldwide.Tourists are hungry,and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.
    There is another chain threatening France's heritage.This time it is coffee rather than burgers.As more and more Starbucks open in Paris,traditional French cafés are forced to close.
    The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country's culture.How can a small,independent coffee shop compete with the multi-billion dollar chain?You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world,but you can only go to a Parisian café in France.
    Responsibility is with the tourists.A McDonald's wouldn't open so near the Louvre if it weren't not going to make money.Similarly,a Pizza Hut wouldn't overlook (俯瞰) Egypt's Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it.Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall,you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.
58.Why are the French very angry when a McDonald's is opening beneath the Louvre?
D
A.Because they will spend many hours in McDonald's.
B.Because French food culture is very impressive.
C.Because they also have the fast-food habit.
D.Because they are proud of their own food.
59.The McDonald's will be located in the underground approach to the museum becauseB.
A.the complaints of the French are useless
B.opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding
C.McDonald's tends to be in the heart of culture
D.it will help to attract more tourists for the museum
60.What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world?C
A.The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back.
B.The traditional stores of a country become dependant.
C.They have negative effect on a country's culture.
D.The multi-billion dollar chain can't be matched.

分析 本文屬于新聞報(bào)道類閱讀.文章首先指出法國(guó)人以他們的美食為豪,他們對(duì)美食很講究,都會(huì)花很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間來準(zhǔn)備晚飯,跟西方其他地方的快餐文化正好相反,因此對(duì)于一些世界著名連鎖的快餐店,他們是很反感的,他們認(rèn)為這些快餐店威脅到了他們的文化.文章舉了兩個(gè)例子:麥當(dāng)勞和星巴克,麥當(dāng)勞開在了法國(guó)的文化中心(羅浮宮),星巴克導(dǎo)致了很多當(dāng)?shù)氐目Х鹊甑归].而解決這些問題的關(guān)鍵在于游客,如果游客不去,快餐店不賺錢,那自然就不會(huì)開在景點(diǎn)附近.

解答 58.D   細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段"French people pride themselves on their delicious foods"和"It is the opposite of the fast-food habit common in other parts of the West."這兩句可知,法國(guó)人以他們的美食為豪,這跟西方其他國(guó)家的快餐習(xí)慣正好是相反的,所以當(dāng)麥當(dāng)勞開在他們那里的時(shí)候他們是生氣的,D:因?yàn)樗麄円运麄兊氖澄餅楹,與此處表達(dá)的意思相同,故選D.
59.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段"Tourists are hungry,and opening chains in tourist spots pays well."可知,游客餓了就會(huì)去麥當(dāng)勞吃飯,自然生意就好,B:在旅游景點(diǎn)開連鎖餐廳是很有收益的,與此處意思相同,故選B.
60.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第四段"The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country's culture."可知,美國(guó)連鎖餐廳在世界的開辦對(duì)一個(gè)國(guó)家的文化有毀滅性的影響,C:對(duì)國(guó)家文化有負(fù)面影響,與此處表達(dá)的意思相同,故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

10."There is an out-of-date idea that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says Mr.Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a great change in the middle class,"declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.
       Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce (離婚) rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs.
       Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give security (安全保衛(wèi)) and moral(道義的) support.Her mother agreed."Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires changes for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the careful balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol (酒精) problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."
       Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children,can end up with a sense of defeat and failure.And aging parents,who should be enjoying some freedom,find themselves stuck with too many things.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work well.
52.According to the author,there was once a trend in the U.S.A.
A.for young adults to leave their parents and live separately
B.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents
C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence
D.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents
53.Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest?B
A.Young adults find housing costs too high.
B.Young adults are not old enough.
C.Young adults look for parental comfort and support.
D.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.
54.The underlined word"hassles"in the passage probably meansD.
A.a(chǎn)greements                                            
B.worries
C.disadvantages                                        
D.quarrels
55.According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children?C
A.They should share the family expenses.
B.Children should leave their parents when they are grown up.
C.Adult children should live away from their parents and visit their parents from time to time.
D.Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble.
56.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to slay with their parents is thatA      
A.there will certainly be inconveniences in even-day life
B.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family going
C.the young adults try to be overprotected by their parents
D.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents.
